Anybody who has played with fuses.
I would expect the result to be better, as replacing the internal fuse removed the bottleneck of the standard fuse?

You know that old joke about "if the black box is the only part of a plane they expect to survive a crash then why don't they make planes of the same material?" Well, if these fuses contribute so much to the signal chain...  Sorry, I've been resisting that one for days but finally had to surrender to my warped sense of humour.  To answer the question - the aircraft would never take off. Current Survivability Standards TSO C123a (CVR) and C124a (DFDR) · Fire (High Intensity) - 1100°C1,373.15 K 2,012 °F 2,471.67 °R flame covering 100% of recorder for 30 minutes. (60 minutes if ED56 test protocol is used) · Fire (Low Intensity) - 260°C533.15 K 500 °F 959.67 °R Oven test for 10 hours · Impact Shock - 3,400 Gs for 6.5 ms · Static Crush - 5,000 pounds for 5 minutes on each axis · Fluid Immersion - Immersion in aircraft fluids (fuel, oil etc.) for 24 hours · Water Immersion - Immersion in sea water for 30 days · Penetration Resistance - 500 lb.

That's why I prefaced my comment with the word "joke." If I'd thought it was actually feasible I'd be typing this from my private island, bought with the profits from my company Blackbox Aerospace. |

its funny how once people asked if they are BS marked the seller disappeared,he did that on the audio shite forum when trying to sell stick on platter dots and got short shrift...just saying.

David did actually addres that question on Feb 4th when asked (see page 34) . That may have been his most recent post on this thread but he hasn't "disappeared". I'm not sure about the other point you make about stick on platter dots but I'd doubt they require BS certification.
Couldn't one equally conclude that David hasn't posted here because:
A) He's sick of the same circular arguments, often from the same people.
B) He's too busy selling fuses given the publicity this thread and others have generated
C) He will be back when he has something new to say. This thread is, after all, more than a year old.
I also thought this thread was now going to be about sound quality of fuses, rather than safety, compliance or casting aspersions.
Just saying......

You reckon there's a chance it will still be running in 2019? I'd give it 3-1 odds  We've only had Red, black and blue colours so far. It's a bit like Captain Scarlet, so quite a few more shades to go. My bet is the next one will be "Magenta" |

Tested the Red against the blue again. Objectively that is money well spent to improve the sound of my system. Subjectively anyone who pays that for a fuse is mental. Putting an SR Blue into a portable CD/Radio bought at a jumble would seem to be a bad idea Individual choice about what you do to improve sound quality on your own system. The rationale I applied to mains cables, later interconnects, supports, racks and recently fuses : If I change the kit the accessories can stay (in the main) |

Similar for me, Mike. I usually try it first. If I like it, I buy it and more if possible. If I can't afford it, I don't try it at all. I've refused loans of equipment I just can't afford.
These days, it's just tiny tweaks like fuses left to try. The last big revelation was Black Ravioli footers and I have them under everything now.

Ive tried stuff i can't afford. Thing is, I've usually ended up getting it anyway. I particularly remember trying on and buying a watch on a visit to London. My wife blew a fuse that day, but she soon came round. I have never once regretted it. There are lots of unaffordable hifi things I've heard and then bought later when my finances allowed. I guess there's no right or wrong way but I can see why many people would feel uneasy about trying something they had no intention of buying at the time. I guess I just always believe I will find a way if I want it enough |

Black Ravioli is the best isolation product I have ever come across. I'd urge anyone to try it. I bought all mine used (from People upgrading) so it didn't cost me megabucks. Anyone could do the same and sell on without loss. I will definitely buy more when I see it, but I'd love to find out what the stuff is and save even more money. I've seen several threads on the stuff, some even showing the internals but nobody seems able to identify it. |

Thanks for that. I wondered what was in them. I'm little the wiser, to be honest, but I think I see very thin layers of cork, what looks like Bacofoil, lots of stuffing type material, and possibly muslin too. Posts 13 and 14 gave me something to chuckle about too - that Serge is both dry and shrewd |

Believe Tony mentioned Kevlar once.
The latest Mark 3 Black Raviolis are a big step up from the original. Cost a bit more too

The current BRs are different. That thread is so familiar, lots of people giving ignorant opinions. Whatever's inside them, they are bloody remarkable and not like sorbothane (which I use, too) in their behaviour.

Cost a bit more too They did look a bit like bullet-proof vest material, so that would have squared with my thoughts. Someone else mentioned submarine tiles. I know the outer layer of the new BR stuff is different, but I'm unsure as to whether the inner has changed significantly. i have used (and do still) various forms of isolation but none are as effective as this stuff. That includes most sorbothane and variants, Torlyte and seismic sinks. I'm not exactly a high-end user either, but the benefits are really obvious. |

The tech on the new BRs doesn't just do vibration. It also minimises electrical output from the device it is supporting so there are two jobs being carried out
